We appear to have crept up to 11 definite players, with others still trying to attend if possible.
Some interesting beers already turning up on the āTasting Spreadsheetā.

Gutted I canāt make it. Iām in the Netherlands at the time. That trip was booked way back in December last year when my visit collapsed after NL went into lockdown once again
Just a little update on the early part of the days itinerary.
Glasshouse taproom is now open again.
Annoyingly all 3 Stirchley taprooms open at the same time -1300 which allows us to only visit the one as want to be in an Uber to Digbrew for a 1400 booking for some pizza (and beers of course ā¦ pizza entirely optional but look on jealously if you donāt partake !)
So the plan will be to hit Glasshouse at 1300 for half an hour
But I will mail the Birmingham Brewing Co and Attic to see if either would be willing to open at 1200 for us
How many people reckon they will come over to Stirchley and into Cotts for 1100 ? Just want to gauge realistic numbers if I am to tempt someone to open early for us
@RichTheVillan has already got us 10 places reserved at Cotts as itās expected to be a busy day
Iāll be aiming for Cotts at 11.
Iām thinking itās maybe too much to push in another venue ā¦ (bearing in mind weād be asking someone to do us a favour to open an hour early).
Plus if folks want to arrive Cotts say 1130 it still allows them a good hour.
I reckon we just do Cotts (should be plenty on tap ā¦ and we could split some bottles purchased there if need be) ā¦ then head to Glasshouse for opening (its about a 15 mins walk ā¦ and God we should attempt some exercise this day).
If anything Iāll maybe contact Glasshouse ā¦ tell them weāre beer wankers or something ā¦ maybe see if they can open 15/20 minutes early for us?
iām planning to be on 0950ish from the Peopleās Republic so New St at 11. Iām prob more interested in Cotts than the breweries as done them before and would prob only be 1 or 2 in each Iām really bothered about (the joys of not being a joosekid!)
I hope everyone is planning to wear their best red, white and blue garb to signify the first Brexit/my last event in England.
Blazer and Flannels for me old chap.
Others may well choose something more relaxed, but I have standards to keep up.
<*))))))><
Iām afraid Iām a definite no now, even for joining later. Shame.
āBlazer and Flannels for me old chapā
nice that youāre looking after your member ā¦ what are you wearing on the rest of your body?
Undecided as yet, something cool I expect.
<*))))))><
Typically I have to go to a meeting in Brum on 01/07 so Iāll be up there the day before. Will try and go up the day before for some evening ticking.
FYI
I have reserved a table at Dig Brew @1400
If anyone plans to meet up here as opposed to heading out to Cotts then I imagine you can join it earlier
Booked under Colin
Added another beer to the list yesterday. Hope to see a few more populated soon.
bad news (at least I hope this is considered bad news), I now canāt make it due to brewing commitments. Why is there only one weekend a week??
